Ecosaúde e envelhecimento: desafios e perspectivas das políticas para idosos em Anápolis, Goiás

Abstract

This work analyzes the public policies related to Ecohealth and elderly people in Anápolis, Goiás. The study aimed to analyze the evolution of public health policies focused on aging of the elderly population in Brazil, focusing on the integration of the National Policy of Health of the Elderly, and discuss the importance of the Ecosaúde approach to promote quality of life, environmental sustainability and healthy aging in the current context in the city of Anápolis- GO. For this, an exploratory qualitative research was carried out, using a methodological approach that involved the analysis of legal documents and visitation to areas of the city of Anápolis. The survey revealed that although the law was an important step in promoting accessibility, implementation still faces significant challenges such as lack of space and adequate structure. The results also discuss the importance of an interdisciplinary approach and the need for a more critical look at urban planning to ensure that proposed legislation translates into concrete changes in the lives of older adults. The dissertation points out the relevance of effective public policies to guarantee autonomy, well-being and quality of life of the elderly population, suggesting improvements in monitoring the implementation of the National Policy for the Elderly
